Hometown: Texas | Age: 18 | Height: 5-foot-5 | 115 pounds | Hair: Blond | Eyes: Hazel A wide-eyed 18-year-old blonde, Iris Rose started off as Leigh Rose but changed her stage name when she moved to California. “I wanted something new. Iris is a flower, and maybe I can bloom into someone’s fantasy flower,” she said. “And I wanted to keep Rose.” Rose started in Las Vegas with Porn Pros after a friend of hers, Ashley Adams, introduced her to the business. “She sent me to the guy she first started off with, which was Mike with Porn Pros.” What she likes best about her new career, Rose said, is getting to travel and test her limits. One place those limits were tested was on a Kink.com shot with Chanel Preston and John Strong, which she loved. “It was my first Kink shoot,” Rose said. “I was really scared. But I loved it. They did everything I never tried doing before but I wanted to try it. I wanted to test my limits. Yes, flog me. Put that gag in my mouth—do it all.” Despite her age, Rose already has tried out five jobs before getting into porn. “I wanted a job, I wanted to work. So I started working right away,” she said. “I had worked at Chick-fil-A, that was my very first job,” Rose said. “I love Chick-fil-A. My second job was Fun Spot—it’s an amusement park. And then I worked at Surf Warehouse … then I worked at Planet Smoothie. Then Steak ’n Shake—not the best. I didn’t really like that job. But it is what it is.” In addition to loving her new job, this Florida transplant also loves Los Angeles, even though she finds it “freezing.” Rose said, “I love that I’m by the mountains. Everything outdoors is gorgeous. I feel like the people are nice and friendly and open. And there are so many beautiful places in California where you can just walk.” Among her interests are playing soccer and donating time to charities (“I really like helping people a lot”). She’s not sure exactly what she wants to do in her post-porn years—perhaps “go full force in the Marines” or become a nurse—but first she’s got some more immediate goals. Those include, she says, booking scenes with Alexis Texas, Dani Daniel, Keiran Lee and Bruce Venture. Follow Iris Rose on Twitter (@irisrosexxx). To book her, go to ATMLA.com.
